We have investigated the low-frequency admittance of quantum wires in which a section consists of several Al atoms. The atomic section is connected to two three-dimensional leads that are modeled by the jellium model. The quantum scattering problem is solved by combining the first-principles ab initio method with a transfer-matrix evaluation of the scattering matrix. The ac admittance is then computed by evaluating various partial densities of states. The nature of the ac responses are predicted for these Al atomic wires.
